[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) is expanding the scope of the Muan Onion Purchase Campaign, which is being promoted to help farms affected by COVID-19, to neighboring local governments.

According to the county on the 2nd, the Gwangju Seo-gu Office, with its subordinate public officials participating in the Muan Onion Purchase Relay, purchased 300 nets of 10kg Muan new onions, totaling 3 tons.

Muan County, to help farms suffering from decreased consumption and price drops and to promote the nationwide spread of the Muan Onion Purchase Campaign, had the governor personally visit the Gwangju Seo-gu Office (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) on the 27th of last month to secure cooperation, opening the way for expansion to neighboring local governments.

Meanwhile, last month, a cooperative system was established with the Gwangju Premium Kimchi Industrialization Project Group, and 1,000 boxes (5 tons) of Muan onions were pre-ordered and supplied to five child regional center associations in the Gwangju area, tightening efforts to expand farm sales channels.

Governor Kim San said, “Through the continuous development of the onion purchase campaign, we will accelerate promotional activities for Muan onions and actively engage in expanding farm sales channels and revitalizing the local economy.”
